Old-fashioned Icelandic black Licorice - Gammeldags lakkris

Sambó Gammeldags: soft pieces of sweet black liquorice with just a little salt. This is the plain, honest kind — chewy, not hard; sweet first, salmiak only as a background note, aniseed underneath. If your idea of Icelandic liquorice is a salt bomb, this is the other, gentler tradition — the one Icelanders eat by the bag.

Gammeldags means "old-fashioned", and that's the promise: made to the old recipes, unchanged. Made in Iceland under the Sambó name.
